Forward visibility is a big help. Don't take it for granted, but adding widely spaced bright lights on the front really gives cages a better shot at not only seeing you, but also gauging your distance and closing rate.

.....said the man who is illegally driving on the wrong side of the road. :p :p :p
Since more than one of you clowns have failed to notice this is a passing zone...here is the shot without the cropping.

I mean really! I was following a guy on a Harley taking a picture. It was time to pass. :lol:
PHOTOCHOPPED!!! :D :D

 
I think there is one more problem we have with our bikes in particular in limited visibility situations (dusk, dark, fog, etc). Having two headlights that are so closely spaced gives an oncoming driver the false impression that we are a car that is very far away. I had some chucklehead pull a left turn in front of me the other day. I'm positive that he had seen my lights, but had incorrectly judged how far away I was. As it was it didn't turn out to be all that close, but it was still too close.
